Description: Perron06_159 1881 Perron map YAKUTSK, SAKHA (YAKUTIA) REPUBLIC, RUSSIAN FAR EAST (#159) Nice small map titled Yakoutsk, from wood engraving with fine detail and clear impression, nice hand coloring. Overall size approx. 20.5 x 17 cm, image size approx. 12.5 x 10 cm. From La Nouvelle Géographie universelle, la terre et les hommes, 19 vol. (1875-94), great work of Elisee Reclus. Cartographer is Charles Perron. Yakutsk city and capital of Sakha republic (Yakutia), in far northeastern Russia, on the Lena River. A fort was founded on the Lena's low right bank in 1632 and transferred 43 miles (70 km) upstream to the present site of Yakutsk in 1642. Long a small provincial centre of wooden houses where, beginning in the 19th century, dissidents were exiled, Yakutsk has grown in size and acquired light industries, up-to-date housing, and paved streets, but its functions remain primarily those of administration and of a river port. It has a university (founded 1956). Pop. (2006 est.) 239,225.
